Idaho Steelheads News Release

The Steelheads got on the board when Evan Barlow knocked home the rebound from a Brendan Milnamow shot at 5:06 of the third. Tyler Spurgeon also assisted on the goal.
At 7:31, Mark Derlago moved the puck out from behind the net, and fired past Stockton's Bryan Pitton for the eventual game-winner, assisted by Milnamow and Barlow.
The Steelheads improved to 7-0-0 against Stockton this season as Rejean Beauchemin improved his personal record to 5-1-0. Beauchemin stopped 23 of 24 shots. Pitton stopped 26 of 28 Steelheads shots in a losing effort. He is now 1-5-1.
